4 car collision

I live in Columbus, Oh and there was a 4 car collision on a highway yesterday. The only person seriously injured was a 3-yr-old who was NOT in a carseat (he is in critical condition). It is just so sad to hear this on the news. There is no excuse for that and I can't imagine how a parent would live with themselves knowing that their child would have been fine had they just put him in a car seat. :( :mad:

I think a lot of people live with themselves by justifying or blaming someone else. So sad.

That is just awful! Maybe other parents hearing this on the news will see how important it is to have their kids properly restrained. Let's just hope that others learn from this awful experience!:(

What highway? I missed my trip to Colombus last year, and I'm missing this year as well. :(

The accident occured on Hwy 71, I don't remember what direction. From the pics on the news it looked as if one car rear ended another one and caused a dominoe effect. I saw one SUV hit a sedan, then the sedan hit an 18-wheeler. I'm not sure what car started it, or what car the 3-yr old was in. However, by the look of the cars, I definitely think the 3-yr old would have been ok had he been in the back seat in a car seat. Very sad.

Amy,
Where in Ohio are you? We just moved here a couple of weeks ago from Texas. Since I've been here, I've been in a wreck (other person's fault) and seen many more on the news. Just makes me feel better about my car seat choices.

I'm over in Middletown which is right smack in between Dayton and Cincinnati. I was over in Columbus last month at the Kenworth dealership. I hate taking a semi and driving over there, traffic is horrible:(
